Did the package contain precious metals or was it something else?
There is a guide for packing and posting precious metals somewhere on the forum.

Silver coins.

Silver coins.

That's rough I thought it might have been an attractive larger package.
Is the postage insurance expensive, I wonder what it costs for 1 Oz of gold?

I would imagine it would be the value of the item, the same as if you were sending any other collectable item through the post.

My understanding is they just have an issue with “bullion”. Though AP can be very difficult to get a clear answer.

E.G.
EXPESS POST
You can send a PM 10oz silver dragon coin (or similar) insured for full retail, with max cover of $5k.

YOU CANNOT SEND A PM 10oz SILVER BAR!

MADE OF THE SAME STUFF!

How does Perth Mint deliver their bullion then? i recall there is an option to take insurance when purchasing from them. Is the insurance covered by a 3rd party and not AP?
